History

Penang Chinese Girls' High School was initially established as Penang Fukian Girls' High School by Hokkien immigrants from China in 1919. [1] By 1920, the school had 52 students. Due to the increasing number of students, the school relocated several times and was forced to close temporarily in 1941 due to the outbreak of World War II. It resumed operations in 1945 and was renamed Penang Chinese Girls' High School in 1951. In 1962, the school transitioned to a publicly funded system under the name Penang Chinese Girls' High School, while the private Chinese-based school continued under the name Penang Chinese Girls' Private High School. The school used to accept boys, but it now exclusively enrolls girls.
